Plan builder

What it does

  • One plan group can hold several delivery frequencies, each created as its own Shopify selling plan with its own billing and delivery interval.

  • A plan can take a percentage off, take an amount off, or set a fixed price.

  • A plan can charge for each delivery, or prepay for several deliveries at once and bill once for the whole term while keeping the delivery schedule.

  • A plan can start with a free trial, and its first order can carry a different discount from the recurring orders.

  • A plan can bill on a fixed day of the week, the month or the year.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Describe the plan

    Create a subscription plan in the admin with its delivery cadence and discount, then attach it to your products.

  2. Shopify creates it

    Arc creates the plan in Shopify first and keeps its own copy only after Shopify accepts it. If Shopify rejects the plan, the error is shown and nothing is saved.

  3. Attach it to products

    Plans attach to whole products or to selected variants, and the product page lists only plans Arc itself created for your store.

  4. Change it later

    Editing a plan updates its matching Shopify plans in place: changed frequencies are updated, new ones are added and removed ones are deleted, with no duplicates.

What it does not do yet

Limits are listed plainly so you can judge fit before you start.

  • A prepaid plan must cover at least two deliveries per charge. A plan that charges for a single delivery is a pay-per-delivery plan.

  • Plans are created only as native Shopify selling plans, so a plan can use only the pricing and billing options Shopify supports for them.
